Overview of the tour in Chongqing

Explore the Dazu Rock Carvings, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on a full-day tour from Chongqing. Admire the carvings that demonstrate how Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism developed in 900-1200 AD.

Start your day with a pick-up from your hotel in urban Chongqing and a 1.5-hour drive to Baodingshan, also known as Treasure Top Mountain. Take a guided tour of the U-shaped valley to appreciate the combination of arts, folkloric customs, and religion around the 11th century.

See how Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism interacted and influenced the Chinese way of thinking, living, and code of ethics. This is the only site in China where people can see three religions co-exist in harmony.

After your tour, enjoy a Chinese-style lunch (optional) before continuing to Beishan, also known as Northern Mountain. Take a guided tour along a corridor that accommodates reliefs and statues about religious figures and scriptures dated to the 9th and 10th centuries.

See traces of Hinduism's influence on Chinese Buddhism. After your tour, begin the journey back to Chongqing and be dropped off at your hotel.
